Burnt Out

Throaty burbling, heavy from the diaphragm
like every coin in the fountain dropped fast like summer rain.

The water inside is shit-brown and old and listless,
climbing up glass walls,
running a glass maze,
falling down and clinging where they can, but
lines where they were mark the glass
until the water rises again.

Mouthful of earth
exhaled: such a hollow world
to live in – just so much hot air.
